✅ Verified in-game — deeper pass: documented the SpawnTargettedOrdnance("Smart Bomb Projectile") guided drop and the radar blip, flagged the sBomb="Laser Guided Bomb Projectile" field as misleading/unused (the fired template is a literal), and that BombExplodes deletes the beacon target object; cross-linked Airstrike/MrxSupport

MrxSmartBomb

Module: mrxsmartbomb.lua

Overview

MrxSmartBomb is a beacon-guided bomb: the player plants a beacon, a jet flies over, and it drops a homing “Smart Bomb Projectile” via Airstrike.SpawnTargettedOrdnance that tracks the beacon’s guid. The falling bomb is blipped on the radar in red, and on detonation the beacon target object itself is removed. Extends MrxSupport and uses MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon.

Inheritance

Inherits from: MrxSupport
Imports: MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon

Instance pattern

Same class-factory pattern as MrxSupport, not per-uGuid — Create(self, uPlayerGuid) builds a new table via setmetatable/__index, exactly like its parent. No OnActivate/Awake, no tInstance registry. It tracks the following key fields:

oDesignator: The designator beacon used for targeting.
uOwner: The GUID of the player who owns this support instance.
sBomb: The name of the bomb projectile.
uBomb: The GUID of the bomb projectile.
uJet: The GUID of the aircraft delivering the bomb.
uSpawnedBomb: The GUID of the spawned bomb.

Module constants & templates

The actually-fired ordnance template is the literal "Smart Bomb Projectile" in DropBomb.
Create also sets self.sBomb = "Laser Guided Bomb Projectile" / self.uBomb = Pg.GetGuidByName(...), but neither field is read anywhere in this file — DropBomb ignores them and passes the literal above. Treat sBomb/uBomb here as misleading dead fields (a likely copy-paste from MrxLaserGuidedBomb, which does use them).
Radar blip color: red {255, 0, 0} (via the inherited BlipAircraft).

Functions

`Create(self, uPlayerGuid)`

Class-factory constructor. Builds a MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon, sets owner / recruit "Pilot" / module name, and sets the (unused) sBomb/uBomb fields. Note it does not set a delivery vehicle — DesignationCallback uses self.uDeliveryVehicle from the prototype/parent.

`DesignationCallback(self)`

Picks a random 360° approach angle, computes spawn (300 back, alt 25) and target (100 out, alt 80) points, flies the jet with Airstrike.Flyby(self.uDeliveryVehicle, …, nTargetY + 150, 50, DropBomb, {self}) (note the +150 altitude offset and the slow speed 50), and plays a Misha VO from a nine-cue pool.

`DropBomb(self)`

Reads the beacon target (uGuid, uTarget) and jet position, and fires the guided bomb:

self.uSpawnedBomb = Airstrike.SpawnTargettedOrdnance("Smart Bomb Projectile", nX, nY, nZ,
  nVX, nVY, nVZ, uGuid, "impact", uTarget, self.uOwner, BombExplodes, {self})

then BlipAircraft(self.uSpawnedBomb, {255,0,0}) to mark the descending bomb red on radar. Velocity is the unscaled normalized vector (no speed multiplier).

`BombExplodes(self)`

Detonation callback. Prints a debug line, then — if the beacon uGuid exists and Player.IsLocal(self.uOwner) — calls Object.Remove(uGuid) to delete the beacon object so it doesn’t linger after the strike.

Events

No Event.Create subscriptions. DesignationCallback/DropBomb/BombExplodes are wired by the parent designation flow and the Airstrike.Flyby/SpawnTargettedOrdnance callbacks — not event handlers.

Notes for modders

To change what this weapon drops, edit the "Smart Bomb Projectile" literal in DropBomb (a plain global) — do not bother setting sBomb/uBomb, which this module ignores.
This is a rare example of a guided support bomb (SpawnTargettedOrdnance with a uTarget), so the bomb actually homes on the beacon rather than following a fixed ballistic arc — see the Airstrike namespace for the targetted-vs-ballistic distinction.
BombExplodes deleting the beacon is host+owner-gated (Player.IsLocal); on other clients the object is left to sync normally.
